Let's take nothing away from Australia, they're very well organised.

Let's take nothing away from Australia, they're very well organised.

Not been tested though have they? It's not difficult to stay organised when the attackers don't move anywhere.

 

[Pablowolf]

Are there a lot of people wearing red in the crowd or are there a fair few empty seats?

Said it for a few weeks now, France aren’t in amongst the favourites. They’re a similar level to England for me - better players on paper but just don’t play together as a team. They’ll still win by two clear goals.

I keep telling you, Deschamps is wrecking this lot.

I've seen a lot of people tipping them to win this tournament. They have talent but they don't have the organisation/coaching. Can see Zidane coming in after this tournament

The potential is clear but reminding me of the England squad of the last decade which just didn't gel. Zidane is a good shout.

Agree 100%. Don’t understand why so many have tipped them. This bunch don’t have the mentality to win games at the latter stages of a tournament like this IMO.

It's pretty clear that they're missing star of Euro 2016, Moussa Sissoko.

Love the full kit VAR wankers.

 

[Jack Regan]

Penalty!

 

[The Bear]

I agree with that. Just because he slightly touches the ball doesn't make it not a foul. He still brings Griezmann down.

Yep, same for me.

 

[Langers]

Agreed.

And the fact Lawrenson disagrees is better proof than VAR.

 

[YoungWolf]

Penalty, as much as people will want to use it to moan about VAR

 

[The Bear]

The process actually worked well too.

 

[Jack Regan]

1-0 , tough call but the right one.

 

[Langers]

It's been far better during the tournament so far. No issue with a slight delay for such a key incident.

 

[WolfmanOz]

1-0 , tough call but the right one.

100% agree.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Another pen!
